Abstract

This study aims to clarify the social disadvantage experienced by educationally deprived women who gave birth upon graduating junior high school, and to evaluate the subsequent impact and long-term persistence of social disadvantage. A sample of two women was interviewed about the difficulties they face, and support they obtained, which highlighted three period of social disadvantage : a perinatal period ; a pre-work childcare period ; and a childcare period while working. In the third period they're likely to be employed for the first time in their lives, when their working conditions connect directly with their living conditions. It was found that social support, advice, financial assistance, childcare support, etc., can check adverse influences on their lives when working. Thus it is necessary to provide a comprehensive support plan for all three periods after pregnancy is reported, providing continuous, unbroken support covering health, medical treatment, welfare, education, living conditions, and employment.
